They’re terrors mainly on the furniture, Urban Thought. Cai chewed the papasan and Fergus ripped the sofa. When I noticed each one sleeping beside his handiwork, I thought this was a good chance for a WW.
The best general principle I’ve learned about dogs is, “A tired dog is a happy dog” or alternately, “A tired dog is a happy owner.” If they’re well exercised, they won’t be barking and destroying things and fighting and chewing on the cat nearly so much.
Mind you, you might ask Dennis the Vizsla’s daddy James Viscosi whether that principle works for his dogs.

Oh, speakina whom…
I’ve given up letting them have stuffies. Cai wasn’t too hard on his — he’s a wood man — but Fergus will destroy anyone’s stuffy and all the throw cushions as well. Like my crocheted sweater, he probably decided to ruin the sofa as a challenging “big project” .
